Description

Feeling like your brain's been replaced with mashed potatoes lately? You’re not alone.


In this episode, we dive into what many women call “peri-brain”—that frustrating mix of brain fog, forgetfulness, and mental exhaustion that shows up right when life expects you to be at your sharpest.


I’m breaking down the real, hormone-driven reasons behind the fog (hint: it’s not just stress), plus sharing practical strategies I use to get my clarity, focus, and sense of self back—even on the crazy days.


From food and movement to stress management and self-compassion, you’ll walk away with tools that are simple, effective, and totally doable.
